	“Provider fatigue is increasingly common, and the many metrics and reporting requirements are coupled with the added time and stress of completing the EHR. Providers, especially physicians, see this as taking away from the interaction with patients, relationship-centered care, or the art of medicine. Finding the balance in medical practice is critical, and having the right staff support can reduce provider fatigue.” - Joseph E. Scherger, MD, MPH, Vice President, Primary Care, Marie E. Pinizzotto, MD Chair of Academic Affairs, Eisenhower Medical Center, Annenberg Center for Health Sciences.
	"The time physicians used to dedicate to interacting directly with patients now accounts for less than 13 percent of their day."
